My best communication advice - If you need to communicate with someone about something, don't put it off. A problem can get bigger than it needs to be if you procrastinate and don't communicate.

My best communication advice came from Wayne Dyer - would you rather be right or kind? Sometimes correcting people or fighting over something stupid just isn't worth it.

Think before you write, especially emails where there is no face to face or voice inflection and written words can be taken the wrong way.
Be a good listener!
Best Communication advice--Accept people for who they are and listen with your ears to what they say. You may disagree but keep the peace since we all have different experiences as to our chain of though.

Couldn't we all use help communicating at times? Some situations and relationships are difficult.
Best communication advice? Listen more than you talk... and maintain a non-judgemental attitude. No one is going to communicate or come to you with problems if they feel like you're going to cut them down or judge them.
A book that teaches better understanding with people is one we should all read.
My Thursday 5/28 entry :)

My best advice on communication is look the person in the eyes and their face when they are talking..put all attention on them. Nod to the person and let them talk until they are finished. Pay close mind to what they are saying instead of interrupting them to say what you want. Take interest in their topics and a good smile throughout the conversation never hurt anyone.

Having a good command of the language helps in better commuication.
My best advice is to not forget the importance of face to face contact in building a connection-technology is great but it can't replace seeing someone in person for building confidence and trust.

Words can hurt. Think before speaking.
my best communication advice is to respond to emails as fast as possible, as it makes the other person feel valued and reduces pressure.
Do not manipulate. Say or ask what you mean.
Good eye contact is so important.
Think before you speak. Words can hurt.
Be so quiet the other person feels compelled to share.
Make sure it's a good time for your conversation.
Everyone loves to hear an engaging story. Share some of yours.
Start out friendly and low key.
Talk.
Really listen and make eye contact.
Body language also tells a story.
Be clear on what you mean.
Having a good vocabulary helps.
Listen :)

The phrase "Silence is golden" is not always accurate.
The best communication advice is what ever you want to communicate, just tell a woman. She will communicate it to everyone she knows.

Hi My best communication advice is to look a person in the eye when talking with them and to nod every couple of minutes so they know you are paying attention. Cheers

My advice is to ask questions. Simple questions communicate genuine interest while helping you gain clarity.
